Counsel to Wike, E.C Ukala, relying on recent judgments of the SC argued that the card reader without the presentation of voters register makes the evidence a nullity. He said that in the instance, the Rivers APC tendered voters register from only 11 LGAs. He therefore appealed that their appeal be allowed.

Responding, counsel to Dr. Dakuku Peterside, Chief Olujimi, urged their lordships to discountenanced their appeal and dismiss it. He further argued that the case of the APC was not based on only card reader. He alleged the issue of non compliance and other corrupt practices by electoral officers and their agents. He also refered the court to the in-house report of INEC condemning the election in its entirety, the evidences tendered by PW 40 and 49 who spoke life into the documents they tendered to straighten his argument. He finally urged the court to most humbly dismiss the appeal for lack of merit.
